The top two pictures were taken yesterday less than 1/2 mile from my house....They are working on this field today....The wheat has been ripe for a month but all its done is rain-rain-rain.....The quality is terrible and some isn't sellable due to Vimotoxin....Some are only getting $2 per bushel after all the dockage...On Wednesday we were in Barton County MO to the south of us and up to 50% of the wheat remained to be cut.....Its getting tough to grow wheat in this area...
The bottom picture was taken yesterday out the window at 65 mph.....Two Case-IH's were working on a field beside Hwy 43 about 15 miles north of Joplin,MO.....Some of the corn looks great and some of the replant is 1-2 ft tall..Most early beans are only 2-6 inches tall and lots didnt get planted..Only about 10% of the double crop beans got planted and we are out of time....Lots are still baling hay..
2015 will go down as a tough year for farming..
